“The offensive line did a great job making a hole,” Nall told chicagobears.com after the game. “There was nothing but daylight. I just had to make a guy miss and try to get to the edge. Trying to make the last guy miss, I tried to stiff-arm him, but he ended up bringing me down. It was a great run; I just need to finish.”

Nall showed good footwork and vision to find the hole at the point of attack and then displayed a burst to get through the hole. Note Nall’s “Get off me!” stiff arm on Colts’ safety George Odom and how he dragged cornerback Jalen Collins a few extra yards before finally going down.

“You can see, when he’s running in the open field, he’s a big kid and you can’t bring him down with just an arm tackle,” Nagy told reporters after the game. “He showed that.”

Nall’s run was nearly identical to the 69-yard run he had during a Bears’ preseason game in 2018.

Nall finished the game against the Colts with a team-leading 73 yards on two carries in the game. He also caught a pass on two targets for 11 yards. Nall later scored on a 4-yard touchdown run, but the score was wiped out by a holding call on tight end Ian Bunting.

"I saw the goal line,” Nall told chicagobears.com. “I had no intentions except to get in there. Unfortunately, it got called back. But I’m just going to keep pushing it no matter what and I’m going to keep trying my hardest.”

Nall has been steadily improving his production during the preseason. He ran for just eight yards on five carries, but four receptions for 21 yards in Week 1 and he had 23 rushing yards on seven carries and four receptions for 21 yards in Week 2.

“He’s really grown up as a player from last year to this year,” Nagy told reporters after the game. “We can count on him. We know he can - in the pass game - protect. He has great hands.”
